How much should a club pay for a good Prop?

[Jack]

With a lot of high profile backs on 400+. What is a topline prop worth?

 

[bfoord]

I think 300-350 absolute max.

you can have the best pack in the world, but you need to make sure you have some quality and creativity in the backline or you wont score points.

conversely, if you don't have the forwards to put your backs in a position to score points, then you will struggle as well.

it is a balancing act for sure

 

[lockyno1]

Depends who you are talking.

Mid range prop- 250K max (Kade Snoden, Dave Taylor)

Top range- 300K (Matt Scott, Luke Douglas, Fui Fui Moimoi)

Elite- 350-380K (Civonoceva, Price, Weyman, Poore, Hannant)

 

[bfoord]

I wouldn't have either Poore or Weyman in the elite prop category

 

[parra_jesus]

i would not have poor even in the mid range prop category the way he has been playing this year.

 

[Dazzat]

If reports are true, and Hannant is asking $450,000, one wonders if there's more to the story? For example, is he also offering to mow the club's lawns, repair the plumbing and cook in the restaurant? Does he dabble in graphic design and will manage the club's website?

Otherwise, in the words of a great Australian movie, "Tell him he's dreaming!".

I believe that both the Broncos and Titans have told him his dreaming

 

[slammingsam]

Roy Asotasi is on around 450,000 a year as is Sam Burgess.
Taylor is on about 260,000.

 

[Talanexor]

No wonder the Rabbitohs can't afford any decent backs...

 

[bfoord]

Taylor is on about 260,000.

That seems a huge amount fore Burgess especially as he is unproven in the NRL. Their also paying pretty big overs for Taylor IMO.

 

[beads6]

I don't think Hanant is worth anymore than 300k if he wants to play in Brisbane or Gold Coast. If he moves interstate he could get a bit more IMO. Hannant is just a greed clown IMO. He is still pretty young he has plenty of good years left in him why the rush to get money his church will look after him...

Elite- 350-380K (Civonoceva, Price, Weyman, Poore, Hannant)

Your kidding right?

Taylor is not a prop FFS. Get it into your think head.

Weyman and Poore will never be an elite prop.

The rest are fairly good examples.

 

[ponies 4ever]

Snowden of the Sharks is a very exciting prospect and definately a prop Brisbane should be having a look at, young, hungry and his work oozes quality. Believe he'd come at a reasonable price too.

 

[cornerposter]

How much for a prop you say?

Whatever Petro wants, I say.

 

[screeder]

Bejesus, Souths are paying massive overs if those figures are accurate. Always thought the Taylor money was a stretch. As for those Shark props i rate em, they'd be worth it.

 

[GoTheBroncs]

We have enough "prospects", we need someone proven up front.

Yeah good one. he'd probably have to clean brunos house and wash his car and hell knows what else!

 

[ponies 4ever]

I think Bruno Cullen and Peter Nolan should offer to wash Hannants' car on alternating weeks after watching his superhuman efforts tonight to get him back upto Brisvegas. Bulldogs should maybe grant him more XXXX to make Belmore feel more like the Sunshine State, they'll regret losing him if it's the case.

 

[Jack]

Yeah i agree, he's worth 400+, offer him 350 for 4 to 5 years!! If he wants to come home, would nt be a bad offer.

 

[andrew057]

Kade Snowden is worth at least 300k imo.
